Reading plan in order to read:
\nI hope to get through 10 pages\/day average.
\nThe 1st seven books are 1849 pages. They may take 185 days, or about 6 months and 5 days. <\/p>\n

Progress Record<\/a><\/p>\n

Of course, some pages will be blank, etc. But I think 10 pages\/day is still a good goal, considering I also have other reading to do.
\n(3\/13\/2016 – revised order)<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The Blackwell Guide to Philosophical Logic<\/em>, edited by Lou Goble — Chapters 1-6 (135 pages) – this is a re-read – I’ve read the complete book before.\n<\/li>\n
  2. Methods of Logic: Fourth Edition<\/em>, by W. V. Quine (303 pages) I saw him speak at the University of Iowa (probably 1975-1976) and also in Toronto in 1984. I nominated him for Honorary Membership in the BRS which was approved. I have studied several of his other books.\n<\/li>\n
  3. Set Theory and its Logic<\/em> by W. V Quine (329 pages)\n<\/li>\n
  4. Computability and Logic: Third Edition<\/em> by George S. Boolos and Richard C. Jeffrey. (300 pages) I’ve studied this book before, however my understanding diminished as I got further into it. However I think it a good choice, because it relates to Computer Science, and thus I have a background, and also because I have studied it before.\n<\/li>\n
  5. The Philosophy of Set Theory: An Historical Introduction to Cantor’s Paradise<\/em> by Mary Tiles. (223 pages) I’ve read this before & found it not difficult, but it would be good to review it.\n<\/li>\n
  6. The Infinite<\/em> by A. W. Moore. (233 pages) I’ve also read this before, but could profit by reviewing it.\n<\/li>\n
  7. Mathematical Logic<\/em> by Joseph R. Shoenfield (336 pages) I’ve started this book before, but had difficulty.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Other books to possibly study – Alphabetic Order by Author – Will plan reading order later. I do not see how I can get through it all, but this inventory will help selecting. Also I may choose to read only some articles in books that are collections. Most of these books I have only acquired recently. I also have all the volumes of the collected papers of Bertrand Russell published so far. Also a Paperback reprint of all the volumes of the 1st edition of Principia Mathamatica and hardback copies of all the volumes of the 2nd edition and the abridged to *56 edition.
    \nThe items below comprise 12991 pages excluding PM. About 1299 days or 3 years, 7 months and 9 days. (At 10 pages\/day)<\/p>\n
